If you're having issues 
with your heli's, the problem is most likely in the heli 
itself...
 
Depending on the 
model/mfgr of the heli, these are ALL things that I (or my customers) have 
encountered that have caused radio issues.

  
  bad bearings
  
  broken struts
  
  cracked 
  sideframes
  
  excess 
  vibration
  
  loose wiring
  
  bad 
connectors
  
  loose screws allowing vibration 
  btwn parts
  
  Worn McDaniels Remote Headlock 
  used with Enya plugs
  
  etc...
Seriously, I would check 
the heli first before I tried another radio. 2nd...DO NOT use PCM Rx's until you 
resolve the issue(s) because, IMHO, they "mask" the problem. Stick with PPM 
and use a decent glitch counter to help you isolate the issues. None of my 
heli's fly PCM!!! And yes, I'm the same Sheldon that supports the US 
Soaring NATs, and sells the BC6 Flight Monitor. I don't care whose detector you 
choose to use, albeit the BC6 is the best one for the job, as it 
was designed, for R/C Heli's, with this task in mind. Got to www.yntdesign.com and check the 
specs/instructions.

Tom sent me a message stating IT WAS NOT THE SPEKTRUM RX that has
range problem with the CC ESC. It was another brand RX that has the
problem.

I have been flying electrics with my Spektrum system using CC Phoenix 10, 
Thunderbird 9 and Thunderbird 18s with outrunner motors for a long time.  
I've flown it to about 1000 ft. lots.  I've never experienced any sensation 
of a glitch.  It's solid, in my opinion.

What speed controller?  There have been some 
problems with some Castle Creations controllers and interference that cuts 
range.
